7 Minute Feng Shui for Good Health and Well-Being

Feng Shui has been used in China for thousands of years to bring luck, good health, prosperity, and love to those who practice it. In the simplest of terms, Feng Shui is the art of placement of items to remedy problem areas in your home or work space. Feng Shui uses the ideas of Chi, or the movement of life and circulation and the Five Elements; fire, earth, water, wood, and metal to bring luck, good health, prosperity, and love into one's life.

Although practiced in China for thousands of years, in the West Feng Shui has only been known to most of us for just a decade or two. In fact, I'd never heard of Feng Shui until a friend of mine in London mentioned a few years back that she had her "Feng Shui man" in recently. She was looking for love in her personal life and success in her professional life and used the art of Feng Shui to be proactive in those endeavors rather than waiting for the things she desired to come to her.

While there are different school of thoughts on how Feng Shui should be implemented, there are many commonalities within the different variations of Feng Shui and it's some of those tips that I offer here. You can use these easy to implement Feng Shui practices to bring good health into your life.

Repair any dripping faucets or toilets
A dripping faucet or a leaky toilet will deplete positive Chi (energy in Feng Shui) from your home and life and could cause you to feel like you have less energy.

The home's center is where the heart is
In Feng Shui, the center of a house is the center of well-being. You'll want to be sure the center of your home is free of clutter in order to allow Chi to flow through it to other parts of your home.

Use blue sheets on your bed
Blue sheet will promote a sense of calm and will help you to sleep better.

Rearrange your bedroom furniture at least one a year
By rearranging your bedroom annually, you'll be allowing any trapped Chi to move around which will promote health and well-being in the bedroom.

Use live plants in throughout your house
Plants represent health and life. Having live plants in your home can help with promoting a sense of well-bring and a renewed sense of life to those living in the home.

Use a fan or mobile to aid with repository problems
A fan or mobile can help move stagnate Chi around a room. By circulating stagnate Chi will often help those with repertory issues feel better.

Place a green star in a highly visible location in your home
Green is the symbol of growth and new beginnings while the star is the sign of hope. Placing a green star somewhere in your house where you and others will see it often will attract a sense of well-being into your home.
